NAME

rc-service – locate and run an OpenRC service with the given arguments

SYNOPSIS

    rc-service [-c, --ifcrashed] service cmd [...]
    rc-service -d, --debug service cmd [...]
    rc-service -D, --nodeps service cmd [...]
    rc-service [-i, --ifexists] service cmd [...]
    rc-service [-I, --ifinactive] service cmd [...]
    rc-service [-N, --ifnotstarted] service cmd [...]
    rc-service [-s, --ifstarted] service cmd [...]
    rc-service [-S, --ifstopped] service cmd [...]
    rc-service -e, --exists service
    rc-service -Z, --dry-run service cmd [...]
    rc-service -l, --list
    rc-service -r, --resolve service

DESCRIPTION

Service scripts could be in different places on different systems. rc-service locates the specified service and runs it with the given arguments. If -i, --ifexists is given then rc-service returns 0 even if the service does not exist. If -I, --ifinactive or -N, --ifnotstarted is given then rc-service returns 0 if the service exists but is in the wrong state.

If given the -l, --list argument then rc-service will list all available services.

    -e, --exists return 0 if it can find service, otherwise -1.  -r,
    --resolve does the same and also prints the full path of the service to
    stdout.

    -d, --debug sets -x when running the service script(s).

    -D, --nodeps ignores dependencies when running the service.

    -Z, --dry-run displays commands rather than executing them.
